In a situation like this there's nothing to use except the horses in that race and MAYBE the next one. Probably not. And since several horses in a field that wasn't that large to begin with didn't pick up their feet, it's makes these numbers less solid than usual.
Ring-- I'm guessing you haven't been reading both boards long enough, but this kind of situation led to a fierce argument between me and Friedman years ago on their board, back when I posted there. (They changed the format many years ago to keep from having to answer my questions about methodology and I haven't posted there since). The subject was FuPegs Wood day, where (by memory) it rained and they sealed the track during the card, or maybe sealed it early and unsealed it during the card. Friedman said it was right to do the whole day with one variant, I asked if he was nuts.
